To provide for the lowest possible shelf surface  
use the alternate rear vent outlet with attached  
ventingroutedinawaytominimizeobstructions  
to the use of the space above the appliance. Do  
not insulate the space between the appliance  
and the area above it. See Figure 9. The mini-  
mum height from the base of the appliance to  
the underside of combustible materials used to  
construct a utility shelf in this fashion is shown  
in the Table in Figure 9.  
COLD CLIMATE INSULATION  
LOCATION  
For cold climate installations, seal all cracks  
around the appliance with noncombustible  
material and wherever cold air could enter  
the room. It is especially important to insulate  
outside chase cavity between studs and under  
floor on which the appliance rests, if floor is  
above ground level.  
In selecting the location, the aesthetic and  
functional use of the appliance are primary  
concerns. However, vent system routing to  
the exterior and access to the fuel supply  
are also important. Consideration should be  
given to traffic ways, furniture, draperies, etc.,  
due to elevated surface temperatures (see  
Figure 4 ). The location should also be free  
of electrical, plumbing or other heating/air  
conditioning ducting.  
Gas line holes and other openings should be  
caulked or stuffed with unfaced fiberglass  
insulation. If the fireplace is being installed  
on a cement slab, in cold climates, a sheet of  
plywood or other raised platform can be placed  
underneath to prevent conducting cold up into  
the room. It also helps to sheetrock inside  
surfaces and tape for maximum air tightness  
and caulk firestops.  
The appliance should be mounted on a fully  
supported base extending the full width and  
depth of the unit. The appliance may be located  
onornearconventionalconstructionmaterials.  
However, if installed on combustible materials,  
such as carpeting, vinyl tile, etc., a metal or  
woodbarriercoveringtheentirebottomsurface  
must be used.  
These direct vent appliances are uniquely  
suited for installations requiring a utility shelf  
positioned directly above the fireplace. Utility  
shelveslikethesearecommonlyusedforlocat-  
ing television sets and decorative plants. Be  
aware that this is a heat producing appliance.  
Objects placed above the unit are exposed to  
elevated temperatures.

The horizontal vent termination must have a minimum of 3" (76 mm) clearance to any overhead  
combustible projection of 2 1/2" (64 mm) or less. For projections exceeding 2 1/2" (64 mm), see  
Figure 6. All horizontal terminations may be located as close as 6" (152mm) to any combustible  
exterior sidewall. This distance may be decreased to 2" (51mm) if the SV4.5HT-2 or SF4.5HT-2  
termination is used and the exterior sidewall is non-combustible only. For additional vent location  
restrictions refer to Figure 7 on Page 8.

compound does not get inside the pipe.  
• It is recommended to install a sediment trap  
in the supply line as close as possible to the  
appliance (see Figure 46). Appliances using  
Propane should have a sediment trap at the  
base of the tank.  
Proper Sizing of Gas Line  
Schedule 40 / Black Iron Pipe

Properly size and route the gas supply line  
from the supply regulator to the area where

Never use galvanized or plastic pipe. Refer to  
Table 9 for proper sizing of the gas supply line,  
if black iron pipe is being used. Gas lines must  
be routed, constructed and made of materials  
that are in strict accordance with local codes  
and regulations. We recommend that a quali-  
fied individual such as a plumber or gas fitter  
be hired to correctly size and route the gas  
supply line to the appliance. Installing a gas  
supplylinefromthefuelsupplytotheappliance  
involvesnumerousconsiderationsofmaterials,  
protection,sizing,locations,controls,pressure,  
sediment,andmore.Certainlynooneunfamiliar  
andunqualifiedshouldattemptsizingorinstall-  
ing gas piping.  
• Checkwithlocalbuildingofficialforlocalcode  
requirements(i.e.arebelowgradepenetrations  
of the gas line allowed, etc).  
Table 9  
IMPORTANT: If propane is used, be aware that  
if tank size is too small (i.e. under 100-lbs, if  
this is the only gas appliance in the dwelling.  
Ref. NPFA 58), there may be loss of pressure,  
resulting in insufficient fuel delivery (which  
can result in sooting, severe delayed ignition  
or other malfunctions). Any damage resulting  
from an improper installation, such as this, is  
not covered under the limited warranty.  
Notes:  
• All appliances are factory-equipped with a  
flexiblegaslineconnectorand1/2inchshutoff  
valve (see Figure 46 on Page 26 ).  
• See Massachusetts Requirements on Page  
4 for additional requirements for installations  
in the state of Massachusetts in the USA.  
• The gas supply line should Not be connected  
to the appliance until Step 6 (Page 26).

orrearueoutletasshowninFigure17(SSDVR-  
3328 ). It is held in place by friction, only.  
General Information  
A vent restrictor may be needed when horzon-  
tally terminating the vent system from the rear  
of the appliance (when using the appliance rear  
vent), install vent restrictor in the rear vent of  
the fireplace outlet on SSDV-3328 series mod-  
els, in any installation that has a vertical vent  
run in excess of three feet (0.914 meters).  
Theseinstructionsshouldbeusedasaguide-  
line and do not supersede local codes in any  
way. Install vent according to local codes,  
these instructions, the current National Fuel  
Gas Code (ANSI-Z223.1) in the USA or the  
current standards of CAN/CGA-B149.1 and  
-B149.2 in Canada.  
Vent Restrictor Installation  
(Top Vent)  
If needed, install the restrictor orientated as  
shown, either from inside or outside the unit,  
in the inner fireplace collar  
Useonlyapprovedventingcomponents. See  
Approved Vent Components on Page 2.  
A vent restrictor may be needed when verti-  
cally terminating the vent system above the roof  
(when using the appliance top vent), install vent  
restrictor in the top vent of the fireplace outlet on  
SSDV-3328 series models. If needed, install the  
restrictor orientated as shown, either from inside  
or outside the unit,in the inner fireplace collar.  
Inner Fireplace

Collar  
Vent Outlet  
These fireplaces must be vented directly  
to the outside.  
Restrictor  
The vent system may not service multiple  
appliances, and must never be connected to a  
flue serving a solid fuel burning appliance. The  
vent pipe is tested to be run inside an enclosing  
wall (such as a chase). There is no requirement  
for inspection openings in the enclosing wall at  
any of the joints in the vent pipe.

WARNING  
With the appliance secured in framing, de-  
termine vent routing and identify the exterior  
termination location. The following sections  
describe vertical (roof) and horizontal (exterior  
wall) vent applications. Refer to the section  
relating to your installation. A list of approved  
venting components is shown on Pages 32  
through 34.  
Failure to reinstall and securely  
tighten cover plate screws could  
result in leakage of flue products  
into the living space. Vent cover  
plate and vent seal plate must  
remain securely installed on  
unused vent collar. Failure to do  
so could result in leakage of flue  
products into living space.

Both these vertical vent systems terminate  
through the roof. The minimum vent height  
above the roof and/or adjacent walls is speci-  
fied in ANSI Z223.1-(latest edition) (In Canada,  
the current CAN-1 B149 installation code) by  
major building codes. Always consult your lo-  
cal codes for specific requirements. A general  
guide to follow is the Gas Vent Rule (refer to

Vertical (Offset) Installation  
Analyze the vent routing and determine the  
quantitiesofventsectionsandnumberofelbows  
required. Refer to Vertical Vent Figures and  
Tables on Pages 17 and 18 to select the type  
of vertical installation desired. Vent sections  
are available in net lengths of 4-1/2" (114 mm),  
10-1/2" (267 mm), 22-1/2" (572 mm), 34-1/2 "  
(876 mm) and 46-1/2" (1181 mm). Refer to the  
Vent Section Length Chart on Page 14 for an  
aidinselectinglengthcombinations.Elbowsare  
available in 90° and 45° configurations. Refer  
to Figure 22 on Page 16 for the SV4.5E45 and  
SV4.5E90 elbow dimensional specifications.  
All of the appliances covered in this document  
are fitted with collars having locking inclined  
channels. The dimpled end of the vent com-  
ponents fit over the appliance collar to create  
the positive twist lock connection.  
Push the vent component against the previous  
section until it fully engages, then twist the  
componentclockwiserunningthedimplesdown  
and along the incline channels until they seat at  
the end of the channels. This seating position  
is indicated by the alignment of the arrow and  
dimple as shown in Figure 20.  
Align the dimple (four places) of the  
upper vent section with the opening  
of the locking incline channel on the  
lower vent section or appliance col-  
lar. Twist vent component clockwise  
to engage and seal until arrow and  
D. Install firestop/spacer at ceiling - When  
usingSecureVent,useSV4.5VFrestop/spacer  
at ceiling joists; when using Secure Flex, use  
SF4.5VF firestop/spacer. If there is living space  
above the ceiling level, the firestop/spacer  
must be installed on the bottom side of the  
ceiling. If attic space is above the ceiling, the  
firestop/spacermustbeinstalledonthetopside  
of the joist. Route the vent sections through the  
framed opening and secure the firestop/spacer  
with 8d nails or other appropriate fasteners at  
each corner. Remember to maintain 1" (25  
mm) clearance to combustibles, framing  
members, and attic or ceiling insulation  
when running vertical chimney sections.  
Attic insulation shield (96K94) may be used  
to obtain the required clearances indicated  
here. See installation accessories, Pages  
32 through 34.  
Where required, a telescopic vent section  
(SV4.5LA) may be used to provide the installer  
withanoptionininstallingintightand confined  
spaces or where the vent run made up of fixed  
length pieces develops a joint in a undesirable  
location, or will not build up to the required  
length. The SV4.5LA Telescopic Vent Section  
has an effective length of from 1-1/2" (38 mm)  
to 7-1/2" (191 mm). The SV4.5LA is fitted with  
a locking inclined channel end (identical to a  
normalventsectioncomponent)andaplainend  
with 3 pilot holes. Slip the plain end over the

E. Support the vertical vent run sections -  
Note-Properventingsupportisveryimportant.  
The weight of the vent must not be supported  
by the firplace in any degree.  
A. Frame ceiling opening - Use a plumb line  
from the ceiling above the appliance to locate  
center of the vertical run. Cut and/or frame an  
opening, 10-1/2" x 10-1/2" (267mm x 267mm)

K. Install the vertical termination - The final  
step involves installation of the SV4.5CGV-1  
Vertical Termination. Extend the vent sections  
to the height as shown in the "Vertical vent ter-  
mination section" on Page 7. The SV4.5CGV-1  
VerticalTermination(Figure25)canbeinstalled  
in the exact same fashion as any other Secure  
Vent section. Align the termination over the  
end of the previously installed section, adjust-  
ing the radial alignment until the four locking  
dimples of the termination are aligned with  
the inlets of the four incline channels of the  
last vent section. Push the termination down  
until it fully engages, then twist the termination  
clockwise running the dimples down and along  
the incline channels until they are seated at the  
end of the channels.  
One method of support is by utilizing field pro-  
vided support straps (conventional plumber's  
tape). Securetheplumber'stapetotheframing  
members with nails or screws. Loop the tape  
around the vent, securing the ends of the tape  
totheframing.Ifdesired,sheetmetalscrews#6

run - At transition from or to a horizontal/in-  
clined run, install the SV4.5E45 and SV4.5E90  
elbows in the same manner as the straight vent  
sections. The elbows feature a twist section to  
allow them to be routed about the center axis  
of their initial collar section to align with the  
required direction of the next vent run element.  
Twist elbow sections in a clockwise direction  
only so as to avoid the possiblity of unlocking  
anyofthepreviouslyconnectedventsections.

and along the incline channels until they seat at  
the end of the channels.This seating position  
is indicated by the alignment of the arrow and  
dimple as shown in Figure 20 on Page 15.  
D. Attach vent components to appliance - To  
attachaventcomponenttotheappliancecollar,  
align the dimpled end over the collar, adjust-  
ing the radial alignment until the four locking  
dimples are aligned with the inlets of the four  
incline channels on the collar (refer to Figure  
20 on Page 15).  
I. Continue installation of horizontal/inclined  
sections - Continue with the installation of the  
straightventsectionsinhorizontal/inclinedrun  
as described in Step E. Install support straps  
every 5 ft. (1.52 m) along horizontal/inclined  
vent runs using conventional plumber’s tape.  
See Figure 31. It is very important that the  
horizontal/inclined run be maintained in a  
straight (no dips) and recommended to be in  
a slightly elevated plane, in a direction away  
from the fireplace of 1/4" rise per foot (20 mm  
per meter) which is ideal, though rise per foot  
run ratios that are smaller are acceptable all  
the way down to at or near level.  
F. Install firestop/spacer at ceiling -  
WhenusingSecureVent,useSV4.5VFrestop/  
spaceratceilingjoists;whenusingSecureFlex,  
use SF4.5VF firestop/spacer.  
Push the vent component against the collar  
until it fully engages, then twist the component  
clockwise,runningthedimplesdownandalong  
the incline channels until they seat at the end  
of the channels.  
If there is living space above the ceiling level,  
the firestop/ spacer must be installed on the  
bottom side of the ceiling. If attic space is  
above the ceiling, the firestop/ spacer must be  
installed on the top side of the joist. Route the  
vent sections through the framed opening and  
securetherestop/spacerwith8dnailsorother  
appropriate fasteners at each corner.  
The unitized design of the Secure Vent  
components will engage and seal both the  
inner and outer pipe elements with the same  
procedure. Sealant and securing screws are  
not required.  
It is important to maintain the required clear-  
ancestocombustibles:1"(25mm)atallsides  
forallverticalruns;and3"(76mm)atthetop,  
1" (25 mm) at sides, and 1" (25 mm) at the  
bottom for all horizontal/inclined runs.  
Remember to maintain 1" (25 mm) clearance  
to combustibles, framing members, and attic  
or ceiling insulation when running vertical  
chimney sections.  
Note: An elbow may also be attached to the  
appliance collar. Attach in the same manner  
as you would a vent section.

Horizontal terminations have been designed to perform in a wide range of  
weather conditions. Our terminations meet or exceed industry standards.  
IMPORTANT  
When selecting the locations of your horizontal terminations, do not place the  
termination where water from eaves and adjoining rooflines may create a heavy  
flow of cascading water onto the termination cap. If the cap must be placed  
where the possibility of cascading water exists, it is the responsibility of the  
builder to direct the water away from the termination cap by using gutters or  
other means.  
The vent termination is hot while  
in operation and for a period of  
time following the use of the fire-  
place. To prevent contact with hot  
surfaces, we recommend the use  
of a Termination Guard. See Items  
12 and 13 on Page 32. This can be  
purchased at your local dealer.  
Take care to carefully follow the installation instructions for the termination,  
including the use of silicone caulking where required.

check for leaks.  
To light the burner; rotate the gas valve control  
knob counterclockwise to the “ON” position  
then turn “ON” the OFF/ON switch (installed  
at Step 4).  
Reinstalling Control Compartment Door:  
To reinstall, insert the hook catches on each  
side of the door into the corresponding slots  
in the control compartment opening, then  
gently push forward and slide down until it  
locks in place.  
Turn on gas supply and test for gas leaks using a  
gas leak test solution (also referred to as bubble  
leaksolution). Note:Usingasoapywatersolution  
(50% dish soap, 50% water) is an effective leak  
test solution but it is not recommended, because  
the soap residue that is left on the pipes/fittings  
can result in corrosion over time.  
Observe the individual tongues of flame on  
the burner. Make sure all ports are open and  
producing flame evenly across the burner. If  
any ports are blocked, or partially blocked,  
clean out the ports.  
Lift the Lower Control

• If there is smoke or soot present, first check  
the log set positioning to ensure that the  
flames are not impinging on any of the logs.  
If the log set is properly positioned and a  
sooting condition still exists, then the air  
shutter opening should be increased.  
• Themoreoffsetsintheventsystem,thelarger  
the air shutter opening will need to be.  
• An appliance operated with the air shutter  
openedtoofar, mayhaveamesthatappear  
blue and transparent. These weak, blue and  
transparent flames are termed anemic.  
• Propane models may exhibit flames which  
candle or appear stringy. If this is present  
and persists, adjust the air shutter to a more  
closed position, then operate the appliance  
for a few more minutes to ensure that the  
flame normalizes and the flames do not  
appear sooty.
